- On Stocks And Shares
By: Nirmal Kumar | - Stocks and shares, during pre-recession, attracted many investors and the Indian sensex exhibited figures above the 20,000 mark. The price of stocks and shares rose and investors trading in the stock share market reaped rich dividends. Though they incurred losses in a day, on another day they gained profits; the mixed bag of profits and losses saw the profit side weighing more in the weighing balance. But the recession and post recession times saw the stock share market dwindling with the Indian ...

- Is It Too Late To Buy Shares?
By: Cam Watson | - Since March our market has risen by 24%, posing a dilemma for people looking to buy. Should they buy now in the hope that the rally will continue, or are they better to wait, on the basis that the market has run too hard and a pull back in prices is inevitable?
Since 2004 our market has given investors a rollercoaster ride. From 2004 to 2007 it rose 50% on the back of the global economic boom. Then, from October 2007 to March 2009, as the recession and global financial crisis starte ...

- Shares Need To Become More Likeable For New Zealanders To Invest In The Sharemarket
By: Cam Watson | - Shares are not a very popular investment with New Zealand investors. For the good of our economy and our investment portfolios, shares need to win a few more friends.
Only around 10 percent of New Zealanders own shares compared to over 40 percent of Americans and Australians. You can point to many reasons for why shares are so much more popular overseas than they are in New Zealand.
For starters, our alternative investments are so much more attractive than they are over ...

By: Daniel Jones | - As the major economies start to stabilise and the risk of a depression fades into the distance many are reflecting on a few important points. Firstly, how did it all happen? Secondly, how can they better protect themselves in the future?

- Why Should You Trade Shares That Are Making New Highs?
By: James Woolley | - Many inexperienced traders and investors can't see any logic in investing in companies that are making new highs. However these people are potentially missing out on some excellent trading opportunities. Let me explain why.
The fact is that there is nearly always a fundamental reason why the share prices of specific companies are making new highs. It may be as a result of the wider stock market making new highs, or it may be specific to the actual company.
If it's r ...

- How Do I Start Investing In Shares?
By: Cam Watson | - It has been my observation that Kiwis do not like investing in shares. Indeed, many will do anything to avoid buying them. But with interest rates so low, shares are gaining attention given many are currently offering dividend yields that are higher than deposit rates.
It is time to get over the 1987 crash and move on. Shares are an important investment to include in a portfolio. They provide income from dividends and the potential for capital growth over the longer term.

- Trading Shares Using Support And Resistance Levels
By: James Woolley | - If you're new to stock market trading, one of the best pieces of advice I can offer you is to study the price charts of some of the biggest listed companies. You should hopefully start to see that most of the time the share price will either trade within narrow trading ranges between support and resistance points, or will break out and make new highs or lows.
So you can use this information to improve your overall success rate when trading shares because the price will often react ...

- Investing In Uk Shares Good Or Bad Idea In Todays Market?
By: Cam Watson | - On a recent visit to London from New Zealand, one of my objectives was to get up to date with the UK sharemarket by getting the latest view on markets from a range of analysts, economists, fund managers and, of course, taxi drivers.
Most New Zealand investors, like those anywhere, have what we call a 'home bias' in their share portfolios, meaning that they have a high proportion of their share portfolios invested in their local markets.
When it comes to New Zealan ...

- Consider These Two Questions Before You Invest In Any Shares
By: James Woolley | - Finding the right companies to invest in can be a long and time-consuming process. Even if you use some kind of stock screening tool, you may still be left with a shortlist of 100 or more different companies. However when you have eventually narrowed this list down to a more manageable number, there are two key questions you should ask yourself to help you decide which company to invest in.
The first question is simply this:
- Assuming money is no object and you wer ...

- The Dangers Of Contrarian Investing
By: James Woolley | - Contrarian investing is one of the more traditional methods of investing in shares. It's basically where you go against the crowd. For instance if everyone is buying tech shares, you might prefer to buy utility shares that are currently being largely ignored, and therefore grossly undervalued. The trouble is that this style of investing can be very dangerous in a bear market.
The global stock markets have seen massive falls all over the world in the last year or so and many stock ...

- Breakout Trading - A Profitable Strategy For Investors?
By: James Woolley | - Breakout trading is a very popular form of trading amongst professional traders but it's also a common strategy amongst long-term investors as well. Shares will often trade in a very narrow range before finally breaking upwards, which is where investors start buying, but is this actually a consistently profitable strategy?
Well I personally do believe it is a solid strategy because for a start it's always a good idea to buy into shares that are already rising, and shares that are ...

- Spread Betting - A Smart Way To Hedge Your Investment Portfolio?
By: James Woolley | - A lot of stock market traders copy the trading style of the great Warren Buffett and only invest in high quality market-leading companies. They are quite prepared to hold these shares for the very long-term so any short-term fluctuations are not that important. However there may still be times when it is more profitable to hedge your portfolio in some way.
For example if one of your shares has raced ahead of itself and you think it may be temporarily overbought based on it's curre ...

- So What Really Is The Broker's Role?
By: David Schirmer | - You see the whole stock market is a marketing organisation. It exists for the sole purpose to transact shares from buyer to seller and seller to buyer. Someone has shares to sell and they want to find someone else to sell them to the best price possible. Someone else wants to buy shares and they want to buy them as cheaply as possible.
So what really is the broker's role? By now you're probably figured out, the broker's role is not to analyse stocks nor is to make you wealthy ...

- Should You Invest In Just A Small Number Of Stocks?
By: James Woolley | - A lot of investors spend hours on end searching through thousands of different shares in order to find potential investment opportunities. However it could be argued that a better strategy is simply to pick the biggest and most established companies and invest in them when the timing is right.
These types of companies include the big multi-national companies that are at the forefront of their industries and are likely to be in that position for many years to come. They will also g ...

- Why Aren't People Buying Shares At These Cheap Prices?
By: James Woolley | - A lot of financial experts are claiming that stock prices generally are currently trading at bargain levels. However there is still a strong reluctance amongst investors to actually start buying shares, so what are the reasons for this?
Well I think a massive factor is the daily bombardment of negative news we receive about the state of the economy. All we hear about are job losses, houses not being sold, companies going bust, people spending less on the high street, and so on. As ...

- The Importance Of The Long Term Trend When Investing In Shares
By: James Woolley | - Obviously when you invest in shares you are looking for the share price to go up, but you have to carefully consider the probability of this happening when you make an investment decision. One way you can dramatically place the odds in your favour is to consult the long-term trend.
By long-term trend I mean looking at the weekly, monthly and maybe even the quarterly charts of the companies you are interested in investing in. If the price chart is sloping upwards on these time fram ...

- Why You Should Only Be Investing In Quality Shares
By: James Woolley | - With stock markets tumbling all around the world, 2008 has been a truly awful year for stock market investors. However a lot of people, myself included, think that this is now a good time to slowly start snapping up some bargains, with the focus being on quality shares.
I would define quality shares as being shares in large, well-established companies that consistently grow their profits and their dividend payouts every single year. Furthermore in this credit crunch that we are al ...

- Spread Trading Construction Industry Shares
By: Robert Thomas | - Anyone who trades construction industry shares will have seen how much share prices have fallen over the past 12 months. Anyone spread betting on those shares to fall could have made a tidy profit.
Back in the summer Taylor Wimpey's inability to get a fund raiser off the ground really hit the market. At that point we had become used to shareholders routinely stumping up the cash for emergency capital requirements. It is always a shock to discover that there is a limit to what ...

- The Markets Can Remain Irrational Longer Than You Can Stay Solvent
By: James Woolley | - In this current economic climate where shares are being sold off all around the world, I thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss John Keynes famous quote - 'the markets can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent', and what it actually means.
It basically refers to the fact that in bull markets shares can race ahead of themselves and overvalue certain companies whilst in bear markets shares can fall substantially resulting in certain shares trading far below t ...

- Buy Shares Of The Giant Companies With Ease
By: Sean Rasmussen | - For those investors that have already been buying and trading smaller companies on the market, it may be a different matter altogether to buy shares of the giant companies. There is often more at stake financially since these shares are typically more expensive than the shares of the smaller companies you've been buying and trading so far. With such massive businesses, you have more aspects of company to consider since they can affect the market value. In fact, the entire approach you use may ...

- The Daily Journey Of A Day Trader - What Prompted Me To Trade Shares For A Living
By: Andy Richardson | - Having first dabbled in shares in about 1994 as a way of bettering my C&G savings account, I knew I could do it and would find it interesting (made 24% in year one and 20.4% year two, using only teletext, Investors Chronicle and no computer).
I had always fancied quitting paid employment by 50. That was looking like a pipedream, as i never made any surplus cash from any job I ever had (never volunteered to do overtime, never chased bonuses - preferred gardening).

- Should I Own Common Shares Or Preferred Shares?
By: Thomas McCarthy | - When companies were first becoming publicly traded, common shares were all you could get. Common shares give you a vote at the shareholder's meeting. The more shares you own, the votes you get. Sometimes, companies worried about one shareholder getting too much control by owning too many shares and voting whatever way their whims took them.
One of the ways companies dealt with this is to own a majority of voting shares themselves and only releasing (for example) 49% of the voting ...
